Douluo Continent: Twin Golden and Silver Dragons Shock Bibi Dong

He raised an eyebrow and asked, feigning surprise, "Oh? What are you doing here?"

Tang San was also completely dumbfounded, and his muscles even tensed up unconsciously.

Xuan Hao and Tang Yuehua know each other?!

Chapter 312 The Other Side of the Traitor

……

Xuan Hao ignored Tang San's wary gaze and looked directly at Tang Yuehua, whose eyes were red-rimmed, and said in a familiar tone:

"Didn't we already agree to go to the Tiandou Auction House together later to watch the excitement? Na'er, Rongrong, and the others have already changed their clothes and are ready. Why are you still dawdling here?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua's expression changed immediately, and she appeared somewhat flustered.

Xuan Hao deliberately took two steps closer, frowning knowingly as he asked, "You cried? What happened? What's wrong?"

Tang Yuehua felt a pang of panic under his gaze, fearing that this scoundrel might do something foolish in front of Tang San. She quickly turned her head away and used a silk handkerchief to cover her eyes.

"No...it's nothing. I just ran into an old friend and it reminded me of some old times. I'm fine."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Hao nodded perfunctorily, then glanced at Tang San beside him with his eyes seemingly casually, without saying anything more.

"Alright, since everything's alright, you guys should hurry up and get ready."

Xuan Hao turned around decisively, waving his hand as he walked out, "We'll wait for you in the lobby downstairs."

After saying that, he strode out of the reception room and slammed the door shut behind him.

As the door closed, the already somewhat tense atmosphere in the room instantly became even more subtle.

Tang San recalled the natural, casual, and even subtly domineering attitude with which Xuan Hao spoke to his aunt earlier, and alarm bells in his mind began to ring wildly.

He turned his head and stared intently at Tang Yuehua, finally unable to hold back the question that had been lingering in his mind: "Aunt, what... what exactly is your relationship with Xuan Hao?"

Tang San couldn't help but think about it.

Xuan Hao's reputation as a monster in Tian Dou City is not good, and he is always surrounded by beautiful women.

And this aunt of mine was not only stunningly beautiful, but also possessed a noble air that made people feel ashamed of themselves.

Given Xuan Hao's domineering and arrogant personality, he was really worried, fearing that Xuan Hao and his aunt... might have some kind of shady relationship!

If that's the case, then his family reunion will be quite awkward!

Seeing Tang San's tense, suspicious, and wary eyes, Tang Yuehua's heart skipped a beat, her face instantly stiffened, and even the roots of her ears felt faintly hot.

But as the seasoned owner of Yuexuan Pavilion, she suppressed her inner turmoil with great effort, feigning composure as she chuckled lightly and explained:

"Him... He was forced to go to my Yuexuan by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, supposedly to learn court etiquette for a while. However, he's a wild person and doesn't like those complicated rules at all. Every time he goes to Yuexuan, it's really just to get some experience and bring his sister Na'er along for fun."

Tang Yuehua tried her best to make her tone sound like that of an elder:

"So over the years, I got to know him because of this relationship, so I guess you could say we had a bit of a teacher-student bond. That's just his personality; he's very easygoing with everyone."

Hearing this explanation, Tang San finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Seeing Tang San's expression, Tang Yuehua couldn't help but reach out her finger and gently poke Tang San's forehead, scolding him playfully:

"You little rascal, how come you have so many thoughts in your head at such a young age? How old am I? I'm old enough to be his mother! What are you worrying about!"

only……

When Tang Yuehua uttered these righteous and self-righteous words, she couldn't help but look away, not daring to look Tang San in the eye.

Ever since yesterday in Yuexuan's room, after that embarrassing massage that even tore my clothes...

She knew that her relationship with that little rascal Xuan Hao had long since become more than just friendship!

That kind of ambiguous relationship with obvious overstepping of boundaries, that kind of physical contact that makes one weak all over, is hardly the way elders and juniors should behave.

However, she absolutely refused to admit to such an absurd thing!

To cover up her guilty conscience, Tang Yuehua coughed lightly and abruptly changed the subject.

"Let's not talk about these troublesome things. Xuanhao just said that the Tiandou Auction House has acquired a batch of novel items, and I'm going to take a look. Xiao San, you're free today, why don't you come along and relax?"

At this point, she added earnestly, "Xuan Hao's Tian Dou Zi Qiang Association has connections everywhere in Tian Dou City. Since you're new here, if you encounter any trouble or need any resources, you can always ask him for help. Don't be fooled by his bluntness; he's actually a very kind person with a warm heart."

"He's... a good person?"

Tang San's lips twitched; he felt as if he had swallowed a thousand dead flies.

What kind of situation is this?

The girl he's been longing for is hanging out with Xuan Hao every day! And now his newly reunited aunt is actually advising him to be on good terms with his "love rival" and ask her for help?

But how could he explain himself to Tang Yuehua's concerned gaze?

Should he publicly admit that he had a one-sided crush on Xiao Wu, but she ran off with Xuan Hao? He couldn't bring himself to do that.

Tang San can't afford to lose face like that!

Tang Yuehua, unaware of the situation, saw Tang San's constipated expression and assumed he was worried about Xuan Hao's character. She turned to look at Old Titan, hoping he would give his opinion.

Old Titan stroked his stubble and nodded appreciatively: "Young Master, Miss Yuehua is right. Although Xuanhao is called a 'troublemaker,' he still has a bottom line."

"He never bothered to bully the weak. His only interest was trampling those self-righteous 'strongmen' under his feet! Whether it was competing in status, power, or strength, anyone who dared to put on airs in front of him would be crushed by him!"

"He poses no danger to ordinary people. If the young master can befriend him, it will definitely be a great help in the future."

"However..."

Old Titan changed the subject, a helpless look on his face, "This kid has a particularly strong rebellious streak!"

"He hates being told what to do most. If anyone dares to use their status to pressure him or to lecture him as a senior, he will definitely turn on them! The more you try to suppress him, the fiercer he will retaliate!"

At this point, the old Titan's expression turned strange: "But putting all that aside... Young Master, can you believe it? This guy actually has a reputation for 'respecting the elderly and caring for the young' among the common people of Heaven Dou City!"

"Respecting the elderly and caring for the young?!"

Tang San was stunned.

Xuan Hao, that arrogant and domineering madman? Respect the elderly and care for the young? What a joke!

“It’s outrageous, isn’t it?” Old Titan said with a wry smile. “But that’s just how weird he is! He can squat by the roadside and chat softly with an old lady who has no soul power, and help her settle her affairs.”

"But when he turns around, he runs into those high-level Soul Masters who bully others, or those high and mighty nobles... If he doesn't like the other party, he won't even waste words, he'll just beat them into a cripple right there in the street!"

Old Titan sighed and concluded, "That's why his reputation in Heavenly Dou City is extremely polarized. The common people at the bottom of society treat him as a protector and fawn over him; while the powerful and wealthy are terrified of him!"

Chapter 313 Absolute Control

……

Although he was extremely unwilling, Tang San understood that if he made an excuse to run away in the current situation, it would only make him seem petty and unable to accept defeat.

What made him feel even more frustrated and helpless was that he vaguely realized that in this circle, apart from himself still agonizing over those trivial matters from the past, no one cared at all!

They just eat and drink as usual, acting as if nothing had happened.

After adjusting his mindset, Tang San followed Tang Yuehua and arrived at the hotel lobby with Old Titan.

In the lobby lounge area, Xuan Hao, Na'er, Xiao Wu, and their group were already waiting.

Seeing Tang San and Tang Yuehua walking side by side, Xiao Wu immediately jumped up, quickly stepped forward, and blinked in feigned surprise: "Xiao San, what are you doing with Aunt Yuehua?"

Tang San was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "You...know each other?"

"Of course we know each other, we just met." Xiao Wu smiled and took Ning Rongrong's arm. "Last night after we left Lanba Academy, we ran into each other and had a late-night snack with Aunt Yuehua. But you, what are you doing with Aunt Yuehua?"

Tang San opened his mouth, but then stammered.

I can't just reveal the secrets of the Haotian Sect and myself in public, can I?

Seeing his hesitant manner, Xiao Wu waved her hand understandingly:

"Oh, if it's inconvenient to say, then never mind. I was just asking casually. So, would you like to come with us to the auction and join the fun?"

Tang Yuehua smiled and chimed in, "Yes, he should go. Let him broaden his horizons."

While these people were chatting, Old Titan, who was following behind, suddenly realized what was going on.

He glanced at the youthful and beautiful Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, then at Xuan Hao standing between them, surrounded by admirers, and a very ominous premonition rose in his heart.

Xuan Hao's reputation for being a womanizer and lecher is well-known throughout Tian Dou City!

Could it be...?

Those two pretty young girls I ran into outside weren't just ordinary friends; they were in cahoots with that little bastard Xuan Hao!

Just as Old Titan was starting to have doubts, Xuan Hao strolled over, glanced at him, and unceremoniously dismissed him:

"Old Titan, you don't need to follow me later, right?"

Old Titan frowned, standing there like an iron tower: "What do you mean?"

"What do I mean?" Xuan Hao rolled his eyes and pointed to the door. "Don't you even know your own size and status? You, the patriarch of the Power Clan, are following me around like a bodyguard. What will the various forces outside think?"

"People will just think that your Power Clan finally couldn't hold on any longer and has become my subordinate in the Heavenly Fighting Self-Strengthening Society!"

Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face. "Of course, if you really have that idea and want to bring your entire clan to join me, I'll welcome you with open arms."

The old Titan's expression froze, and he roared, "You're dreaming! Even if my Power Clan starves to death, we would never be your lackeys!"

"If you're not going to be my underling, then keep your distance from me."

Xuan Hao's face turned cold. "Otherwise, if rumors spread that your Power Clan is unruly, I will have no choice but to lead people to your Power Clan's headquarters for a fight in order to protect the reputation of the Heavenly Fighting Self-Improvement Association."

"After all, I can't afford to have my reputation, which I've built up over many years, ruined by you, can I?"

Old Titan was speechless, his face turning ashen, but he had to admit that this was indeed a big problem.

Nowadays, most of the underground forces and chambers of commerce in Tiandou City have some unclear relationship with Xuanhao's Tiandou Self-Strengthening Association.

There are very few people like the Power Clan who clearly maintain distance and refuse to take sides.

In addition, the Spirit Hall has never let them off the hook in recent years, and has been relentlessly suppressing them in various industries, making life difficult for the Power Clan.

If, at this point, they were to fall out with Xuan Hao and his gang of local bullies over a matter of saving face, the Power Clan would truly be surrounded by enemies and courting their own doom.

Seeing that the old Titan was in a dilemma, Tang Yuehua spoke up at the right time to help him out: "Senior Titan, Xuan Hao is right. It is indeed not suitable for you to follow us. You are too conspicuous."

Old Titan hesitated: "But you're with him..."
